For Planners & Designers
Use the platform as a practical evaluation environment: faster alternatives testing, clearer trade-offs, and stronger client decisions.
What This Solves for Planning Teams
Planning teams are expected to evaluate more options in less time, while keeping decisions defensible. This platform helps you run structured comparisons quickly without overselling certainty.
Current scope depends on the city workspace and available models. This guide focuses on practical workflows you can run today.
Core Value for Planners
Move from long back-and-forth analysis cycles to quick scenario checks that fit design timelines.
Example: Cut a 3-day alternatives report down to a 2-hour comparison session.
Review multiple options side by side with consistent assumptions and outputs.
Example: Compare two massing options for a 12-acre site in under 5 minutes.
Explain trade-offs visually and with data, so decisions are easier to align around.
Example: Share a scenario with a municipality and gather comments directly on the map.
Test concepts against urban conditions rather than isolated geometry.
Support planning narratives with transparent model runs and documented rationale.
Keep results, versions, and comparison logic in one place for easier handoff.
Planner Workflow
Open a city twin and define your project boundary.
Create named scenario branches for each option you want to test.
Apply walkability, solar, density, or mobility tools to each scenario.
Review side-by-side indicator results and discuss trade-offs with the client.
Refine the preferred scenario and share a documented, version-locked result.
Working with Other Stakeholders
Planners, municipalities, model creators, and residents can discuss the same scenarios on one platform. That shared context reduces the translation overhead between design intent and civic decision-making.
- Reuse methods from peer planners instead of reinventing every evaluation framework.
- Bring model creators into real planning feedback loops early.
- Present options to public audiences in a clearer and more inclusive format.
Example: Share a scenario with a municipality and gather comments directly on the map.
Ready to start?
Choose one ongoing project and run a two-alternative comparison as your first workflow. Most planners complete their first scenario comparison in under 30 minutes.
